Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 289 Director Jiang, who catches the duck and puts it on the shelves

Director Ding did not understand English, and Zheng Zhang Er was confused as to what the two parties were talking about. He looked at the other professors around him, and several of them were also frowning and thinking.

It seems that the foreigner has a request for us. Professor Jiang seems to be bargaining, but he can't understand a word. Director Ding is anxious.

Director Jiang looked like a scholar and nodded to Mr. Ram, confirming Mr. Ram's level of understanding.

Seeing that Director Jiang could not lift the butcher's knife, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to kill himself.

"Yes, Mr. Ram, we can write this into the contract, but Mr. Ram, your understanding of this technology is too low. Its value and research difficulty are far from a few million dollars." Comparable."

Mr. Ram nodded subconsciously. He really wanted to improve the efficiency by two hundred times. What is that? It is an epoch-making technology that cannot be achieved with just a few million dollars.

Seeing that Mr. Ram agreed with his statement, Zhu Xuefeng became more confident.

"I hope you will go back and study with your side how an epoch-making technology can change your world."

Yes, what kind of changes can it bring to our world? The most common places in my hometown are deserts and seas. If we had this technology, wouldn’t it be possible to have more lovely oases?

Mr. Ram left in a hurry. If Mr. Jiang's technology can really be realized, it is indeed not his choice. Mr. Zhu's quotation also exceeded his right to make a decision. After all, he was just an errand boy, and the sponsor benefited. They only have soup to drink.

"Lao Jiang, what kind of high-tech technology do you have? You just quoted five million US dollars per year, and asked for another fifteen million US dollars per year if the research is successful before you can provide the design drawings. All technologies must be kept secret, and the factory must We built it, aren’t we too harsh?”

Director Jiang was also confused. Zhu Xuefeng's swing of the sword was too much. Thirty million, when he helped build a factory, it would definitely be an astonishing figure. This Xiao Zhu was really ruthless. Don't be careful. The rich man was scared and ran away.

Seeing that Director Jiang was still deep in thought, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to stand up with a smile and explain.

"They will definitely agree. You may not be able to understand the desert's desire for fresh water, not to mention that their country is carrying out national agricultural development activities. The desire for fresh water is just like our need for foreign exchange."

Zhu Xuefeng is very confident. A hundred times the efficiency is conservative. The white turban cannot withstand such temptation.

"Then you guys want too much. Maybe they will be scared away. Besides, your technology hasn't come out yet. I think this thing is quite mysterious. If you had just opened less, I think it could be done and you could make money." It’s my own, alas.”

"Professor Zhou, don't be discouraged. I think they will come again. Even if they can't accept the price, they will come to bargain. They shouldn't be scared away. After all, they can't let go of Professor Jiang's description and promise."

Professor Zhou sighed, "I hope so. If it can really be done, our school will have made a great contribution to the country."

There were already six or seven professors in the room, and they all took notice. Director Ding also understood at this time that Zhu Xuefeng had embarked on a very big project, but he didn't know if it scared people away. It's no longer a lion opening its mouth, it's opening its mouth.

"Mr. Abbas, this is what the Chinese say. A hundred times is the minimum. They ensure that the research can be successful and are willing to write it into the contract. Moreover, fifteen million is not a one-time handover. It can be five million per year."

"But when all the research is successful, the total amount must not be less than 30 million. It is also required that for every completed year ahead of schedule, a reward of 5 million needs to be awarded. If the efficiency exceeds a hundred times, the two parties will negotiate amicably. If it is not completed within three years, all Return our support funds.”

Mr. Abbas is also very interested. Although the financial requirements are much larger, it also shows that China is very confident. Although the money is a lot, it only averages 10 million per year, which is not too much. Compared with Compared with my own expectations, it is still acceptable.

"Since they are willing to write into the contract, it shows that they are very confident, and they have also proposed a hundred-fold increase in efficiency as a guarantee, which shows that their technology is indeed far superior to the current technical level. This is a rare opportunity."

He turned to look at Mr. Ram again, his tone eager to get confirmation again.

"You mean, they can still complete the research ahead of schedule, right? This shows that they are not far away from success. Major breakthroughs should also be real. For us, one year earlier is far from a problem of five million."

"As for academic fraud, I don't think it exists. At that time, we will be a contract between countries. There is no doubt about the credibility of the Chinese people in this matter."

Mr. Abbas walked back and forth in the room for a long time before stopping.

"Do you need to say whether it is appropriate to build a hundred factories or one factory? Not to mention the site, construction, and skilled workers. The gap is too big. This is a blessing from Allah. We have to Get a grip."

"I personally think it is necessary. It not only solves the fresh water problem, but also improves the relationship with China. From now on, it is normal to visit several times a year for research progress. With close contact, my dear Mr. Ram, you said Can we also talk about other things later?"

"China is not just a big country. He has taught everyone a lesson. If possible, I would like to send people to learn from their experience. This is a great country. There was Genghis Khan before, but now..."

Mr. Ram's eyes also lit up. Mr. Abbas's ideas were far from being limited to seawater desalination. It was not only possible to obtain urgently needed weapons, but also to learn the most powerful combat experience. Mr. Abbas was really far-sighted.

"O great Allah, you have brought a beacon of guidance to our nation!"

Mr. Abbas smiled. He finally found a very suitable breakthrough, and it is very likely to bring a major breakthrough to the country. This time he came to the right place. The prince's idea is really wonderful, and he is also very lucky. Thank God. ,Amen.

"You should reply to them now. I, Muhad Abbas, have agreed to China's request. I will arrange for people to go to China for detailed negotiations and sign a contract on the spot in the near future. Even if the royal family does not agree, I will unite Other families pay for it!"

"I will contact the royal family now. You go and tell them our intentions first. You must take good care of our distinguished friends, hahahaha."

When Director Jiang uneasily complained about Zhu Xuefeng and wielded the butcher's knife too hard, the unexpected good news almost made him rude in front of foreign friends.

"Mr. Jiang, we are willing to fund your project research. We hope that after the research is successful, our needs will be solved first. Specific negotiations will begin soon after our representatives go to your country. We look forward to your success! "

"Xiao Zhu, it's really yours. How do you know they will agree? This is 30% of the national treasury's foreign exchange." Among the people in the room, only Zhu Xuefeng knew that the white turban's understanding of currency units was two orders of magnitude different from the domestic understanding. , we cautiously indicated that we would sell a second kicker for one million, and the white turban was extremely happy and thought that only one hundred million was too cheap.

The 30 million quoted this time seems to be too low. Fortunately, it still leaves room for friendly negotiation between the two parties, which is a hundred times more. I hope to get another one.

"Professor Jiang and Comrade Xiao Zhu, if this really happens, you have made a great contribution. Are you really confident that you can complete the research?"

Looking at Director Ding's somewhat unsure and expectant face, Director Jiang said calmly.

"Director Ding, after we come out, we will not represent individuals, but the country. Without absolute confidence, we will not offer such a high price. Please believe us."

Director Ding was overjoyed when he received Director Jiang's approval and held Director Jiang's hand tightly.

"Professor Jiang, thank you. This news is so important. I have to report it quickly. The relevant departments also need to hurry up and prepare. You all should eat first and chat first. I will report it first."

Seeing Director Ding rushing to report, Zhu Xuefeng quickly stopped him.

"Director Ding, you have to make it clear that this is Director Jiang's idea and train of thought. The leader of the research project is Director Jiang, and now it is Director Jiang's team."

Director Ding was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he thought of something again.

"That's right, Director Jiang is leading this project now."

Director Jiang looked at Zhu Xuefeng in confusion. What was going on? How could he be alone? When he was about to speak, Zhu Xuefeng shook his head. He had to wait for a while and let Zhu Xuefeng explain himself.

"This project must be led by you. As for whether it is the Department of Physics or the joint Department of Geophysics and the Department of Chemistry, this is what you and the school have to consider. You are the head of the Department of Physics. Only you can come forward in this matter. You Don’t look at me, without your organization and coordination, this team cannot be built.”

An unexpected news spread more than 2,000 kilometers away, causing a shock no less powerful than an atomic bomb. The relevant departments in the entire capital were shocked. Normally, this kind of thing would not be reported until it was settled. But the impact was so great that even the higher-ups were surprised that an ordinary academic exchange could lead to such a large project.

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room. Many people expressed doubts and denied that there were relevant scientific research projects in the country. Some people were worried that if it could not be completed in three years, all the investment would be wasted and people would be lost internationally.

Finally, the majestic body stood up, waved his hands, and made the final decision.

"I think we must trust our comrades. If they have confidence, I will be determined to provide them with the best guarantee. As for when the research will be completed, I don't think we should make a decision and let them carry out the work according to their own plans. I will support them until they come up with it. If anyone tries to play tricks on me in this matter, the country will definitely not agree with it, and neither will the people..."

Instructions were given in a thick local accent and a cadence. Fortunately, the foreign guests had not yet started to contact the country, and it was currently impossible to determine the time of their visit. Otherwise, the two of them would have to return to the capital immediately.

Zhu Xuefeng didn't know about this. The framework of the port city had been set up. Zhu Xuefeng had been locked up in the hotel these days, sorting out research ideas and sketching out plans in detail with Director Jiang.

Zhu Xuefeng still needs time to complete the uniform sketches that Chen Dong needs, the design of the first floor, and the new radio designed based on the transistors of his childhood. He also needs to put forward specific welding and installation requirements for the production of radios. As for Song Yan and the others' future training plans I don't have time to take it into consideration.

Unexpectedly, he had arranged an academic exchange so intensely, and there was not enough time. Seeing that the meeting was about to end, Zhu Xuefeng reluctantly completed the task.

"Director Jiang, I have to ask you to bring this suit back for me. This is a little thought from me. Please pass it on to me."

According to the regulations, after the meeting, everyone should return together and not stay in Xiangjiang. Zhu Xuefeng could not talk in a small book in front of so many people, so he had to come back.

Just as he was saying goodbye to Director Jiang, who had to go back quickly to report to the school and superiors, and make necessary preparations for the upcoming negotiation, Zhu Xuefeng excused himself as he had emptied everything in his stomach and could not help him when he returned. , I still had to prepare for the Canton Fair later, so I stayed.

"After finishing the work, come back early. This project must be highly valued by all levels. I admit that you pushed me to the front, but the idea is yours. After I go back, I will confess to the superiors the purpose and intention of doing this at that time."

Zhu Xuefeng was shocked, and finally pushed Director Jiang to the front so that he could stay. If his name also appeared in the materials of this research project, and he participated in the Canton Fair, wouldn't he have to go back to the capital in a minute?

"Director, please help me. I really can't show up. I have no choice but to do it. Besides, if the school has such a big project and a student is the one to take the lead, no matter how funny it is, no one can believe that it can succeed. I can't even put on airs. Get up, you should work harder if you can, and do whatever it takes."

"For the benefit of the country and the peace of mind of the leaders, this burden can only be shouldered by you. If it were me, I don't think anyone in the country would agree to sign the contract, don't you think?"

Director Jiang was also struggling in his heart. What Zhu Xuefeng said made sense. If a student was to be the leader of this project, it would be a joke. It would be impossible to get the project approved, the project would be ruined, and the contract would definitely be gone. He was helpless Watching huge sums of money disappear.

In the end, Director Jiang sighed and admitted, "Okay, I will be responsible, but you must come back early. There are some things I have to ask you..."

Zhu Xuefeng immediately agreed seriously, opening his mouth was a guarantee.

"No problem. I'll come back when things are almost done here. However, you have to promise not to say my name in advance, or never."

"You, you, being indifferent to fame and fortune does not mean that your name will not appear in the research project. Okay, I promise you first and respect your wishes. We will study it after we come back."

Seeing Director Jiang and his entourage embark on their return journey, Zhu Xuefeng also returned to Xiangjiang immediately. It was easier to handle with a small notebook, but it was difficult to get through with just the resident status of Xiangjiang. You must have a proof of return home to visit relatives stamped with a local seal before you can pass through the port.

This thing is very troublesome. You first have to send a letter to the place where you need to visit relatives and apply. The local department approves the application, and then send it back. You can take this certificate of return to visit relatives and then go to the Hong Kong government to apply for return. Everything is complete. Only then can you pass the test.
